I will be sure to update with my progress.

I cant figure out how to upload photos off my laptop so here is a link to its feature on SpeedHunters website before it came off the road.

Enjoy

Man very nice car! Love it to bits.

 

[LuPix_S15]

I remember seeing this on Speedhunters dude... awesome!!!


I'll be asking a few things cos I'm looking into SR20DET rebuild parts soon. I've heard CP are decent brand of pistons. Is 86.5mm the standard SR20 piston size? Have you still got standard stroke? Are the Tomei procams noticeably lumpy on idle? How much bhp/ft lbs increase do you think they provide?

Tial V-band rear housing is not cheap lol :wack: Fairplay looks like you've really spent the dollars on top parts and not only does she go, she looks immense from the outside as well :thumbs:

 

[tooley]

ahh i rember reading this on there! its an awesome machine! to work dude!

 

[tinto]

Accurate thread title!
That is an amazing build.
Did speedhunters get your turbo specs wrong?

 

[meddler]

very very nice.

 

[Trial_S15]

Welcome to the club Matt, FANTASTIC spec list :notworthy: and stunning car :smitten:

Any videos of it? I bet it sounds beautiful.....

 

[vinnie]

i am lost for words.....wow...

 

[Fruitbooter]

Stunning car! Have you got any piks from the actual build etc like from when you first got the car? Would be interesting to see it take shape!

 

[EMAGDNIM]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....Soo good....sssooooooo freakin' good

 

[hendo]

Nice nice nice. Car porn if ever there was. I remember seeing it in Fast Fours mag last year I think?

CP are good pistons, you can order to your own compression spec. People tend to get overesized pistons to get rid of previous wear on the bores from the standard sized pistons as the SR doesn't run liners. A block hone cost me £220 earlier in the year to 86.5mm for CP pistons, however I ordered the high compression set at 9:1.

Very awesome spec by the way, what's the turbo like? That's a big arse blower:thumbs:

Yeah I found CP Pistons to be one of the higher quality pistons out there. And having the ability to be able to tell them exactly what comp ratio and diameter you would like them makes it alot easier. 86mm is the standard bore size so I had gone just 20thou oversized to the 86.5mm. You can go anywhere up to 90mm which makes it more a 2.2L but then the block would be very thin.
Yeah I left it the standard stroke in the end. Was a questionable 2.2L stroker kit with 89mm pistons and Darton sleaves to make it a 2.35L but thats a bit extreme for what my wants were.
With the Tomei procams i wouldnt be able to tell you how lumpy or performance increase as I am still in the process of dropping the engine back into the car. But i will be sure to let you know.

Accurate thread title!

SpeedHunters did get it correct. I originally had a Greddy TD06 L2 20G kit on it which made the 298.9kw on 1.3bar and as you would see it was running the Apexi PowerFC d-jetro ecu aswell until it came off the road.

Thats from the older owner of the car. I dont have any videos as yet.

No sorry i dont have any of the build but it was brought into the country stock and then Athid built the car from who I bought it from and gets the mods going.

Nice nice nice. Car porn if ever there was. I remember seeing it in Fast Fours mag last year I think?

Yeah was on the front cover with a white Evo in March09.

Yeah I went 9.1 pistons also with a final comp ratio of 8.942:1. Yeah it is a fairly big turbo but for what I'm wanting it should be perfect seeing I have put the Tial rear housing on for better outcome.



Thanks for all the good comments. I will be sure to keep it all updated with the progress.

 

[LuPix_S15]

Thanks for replying mate... and to so many questions lol!! It truly is an immense build and can't wait to see you report back about how she drives... the turbo, the cams and the whole friggin' lot haha :thumbs:

 

[Jap Style]

Haha yeah will do. I'm edging for it to be all running already haha

 

[andeep]

Wow
